Mission
Statement

Joyce and Leslie Goodwill Organization (JLGO) is a nonprofit based in Vaudreuil-Dorion. Our mission is to empower struggling single mothers and vulnerable children affected by war in various communities across West and Central Africa. These regions face significant challenges, including poverty, malnutrition, illiteracy, disease, and social injustice.

Our programs aim to drive large-scale, lasting change through economic and social initiatives that help these individuals realize their potential and take control of their futures.

We also support immigrants from West and Central Africa who are newly arrived in Canada. We assist with their settlement and integration by providing tools, resources, and networking opportunities that ease their transition and accelerate their adaptation to their new communities.

Together, we are building a brighter future for families and communities.
